    No, however in his final full year as CEO of NZ state owned airline, Air New Zealand, we did, unfortunately, see Christopher Luxon receive a short-term bonus of NZ$1.62 million, alongside his base salary of NZ$1.47 million and additional share rights worth roughly $808,000. His total remuneration package for that year was NZ$4.7 million.

    I would suggest that with his fellow corrupt politicians and associates on the board of Air NZ awarding #Luxon these undemocratic bonuses that this should be considered public theft. #NZPol

    At this point #Luxon and his #NZPol coalition of crooks have become a huge liability to #Aotearoa #NewZealand trade, economy and environment.

  10. #NewZealand writer Eugene Doyle of Solidarity joins Pascal Lettaz of Neutrality Studies to discuss the #NZPol Prime Minister Chris Luxon and his RW government’s abandoning of the NZers kidnapped from the #SumudFlotilla in international waters and beaten by Israel terrorists.

    This interview breaks down the shameful complicity of #Luxon along with #AusPol PM #Albanese and western governments in the #genocide occurring in #Gaza and allowing #Israel to torture civilian citizens of #NZ and #Australia.

    Note the absolute silence of these #CrimesAgainstHumanity in #NZMedia and #AusMedia also complicit in these appalling crimes being committed by #Israel.

    Regardless of what you think of PM Luxon and foreign affairs minister Winston Peters as politicians there’s no doubt that they are #WarCriminals failing to uphold their obligations to support NZ citizens being tortured for attempting to provide international humanitarian aid.

  12. CW: NZ - Luxon vs OECD

    In their annual country report for NZ, the OECD concluded that National's over-priced gas terminal locking in fossil dependence is, and I paraphrase, a stupid idea.

    "... and instead recommended investment in non-gas generation like biomass or pumped hydro."

    But Christopher Luxon reckons that he knows better than the OECD and claims that their warning on the government's LNG plans are "a load of rubbish."

    "Luxon said the coalition government was not going to tolerate "bumper sticker" policies or the sort of "kumbaya and mush" that Labour pursued while it was in power."

    Putting aside the immorality of promoting fossil fuels over renewables, a deeply unpopular NZ Prime Minister describing the collective wisdom of the OECD as "kumbaya and mush" is one for the record books.

    Dunning-Kruger appears to be getting the better of our PM. The man's an utter embarrassment.

  16. CW: Oil crisis - NZ Labour finds its voice

    Chris Hipkins pops up after a long absence and claims National are not prepared for the incoming oil shock.

    Given the IMF's warning that the fuel crisis is likely to lead to a global recession, Hipkins seems close to the mark.

    Luxon responded, that was why the government was "focused on avoiding the mistakes seen during the Covid response."

    Pardon? Is this somehow Labour's fault?

    It seems bizarre that Luxon isn't considering options like carless days and working from home, as many other countries are already doing. Especially when NZ is right at the far end of the supply chain.

    ---

    Please... take a moment to appreciate this classic gobbledygook from Luxon as he tries to think on his feet.

    "What I agree with is we want this resolved as quickly as possible. We want the parties negotiating, I know ceasefire negotiations, you know, we want ceasefire will remain holding, we want the parties negotiating a negotiated settlement."

    It's embarrassing that this inadequate man leads our country.

    The Iranians are correct. #Luxon #Peters #Seymour and any other #NZPol parties complicit in the war crimes and crimes against humanity being carried out by #US, #Israel and their allies can expect to find themselves in the #Hague charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity sometime in the future.

    Never forgive never forget.

  24. Iran has openly accused #NZ of acts of aggression in what legal experts are calling an illegal war complete with what appears to be documented war crimes.

    The facts do seem to support this as New Zealand is physically providing intelligence that enables and assists US Israeli strikes on Iran.

    We have the capacity to stop this.

    We haven't.

  27. The only ethical, moral and legal decision this #Luxon #NZPol government should be making with regard to the illegal and immoral war against Iran in defence of the child molesting, genocidal #Epstein Empire is to advise #Trump and his rogue state to either surrender immediately or be isolated from any alliance with #Aotearoa #NewZealand.

    In the meantime if this government had any sense it would be making arrangements to buy its oil, fertiliser and any other commodities that need to travel through the Strait of Hormuz using the Chinese yuan.

    Sadly, this govt seems determined to support NZ being taken down with the failing US dollar.

  29. Trump has just threatened to attack Greenland if NATO doesn’t help him in his illegal war with Iran.

    With NZ coward in chief Christopher #Luxon supporting the pedophile president is he not only abandoning international law but also NZ’s European allies while backing blackmail as a legitimate tactic?

  33. Yesterday Helen Clark rightly condemned the Trump regime's illegal and ongoing attacks on Iran, in breach of international law. Today's Stuff headline proclaims "Christopher Luxon hits back".

    But does he? Really?

    "Meanwhile on RNZ, Luxon refused to explicitly say whether New Zealand supports the Iran strikes or not."

    "Asked if the strikes were the right thing to do morally, Luxon danced around the subject."

    It strikes me that "Spineless Luxon dances on the head of a pin" might have been a more accurate headline.

    Our PM lacks a moral backbone.

  35. Chris #Luxon is very good at not answering any questions. It’s not up to the #US and #Israel to determine if the strikes on #Iran are a breach of international law. It’s up to the international community, including NZ, to determine if their very thin justifications under Article 51 stack up.

    The NZ Prime Minister should be able to take a stand, either one way or the other. Not being blown around in the wind of the breath of whichever interviewer is asking him questions at the time.

    "Precisely 16 days after #Luxon said he’d be back at work, and in between sharing Spotify playlists and selfies, while staying silent on #Greenland, #Venezuela, Manage My Health’s serious data breach, Trump’s attack on central #bank independence and devastating, “tragic” Northland #floods, the Prime Minister returned to face the public."
    Thus Mountain Tūī - <[email protected]> - starts the evaluation of the NZ PM's "state of the nation" speech, described as "Performative and factually distant from his government's track record".
    "... ~140,000 Kiwi citizens that have chosen to make their home overseas...200 a day."
    "Only days ago, it was confirmed that business liquidations hit 15 year highs and business removals 10 year highs. "
    "By job count, there were ~42,000 fewer filled jobs in New Zealand than when National was elected. Job seekers are “exhausted” and at wit’s end with hundreds and in other cases, thousands of job applicants, per role - while mental health pressures continue to increase as a result.
    "#Meth use ... continues to skyrocket too, #cocaine use is firmly up, and organised #crime is enjoying tremendous success ... ."
    "National’s frontline job cuts that saw customs, paedophile management and organised crime staff culled last year comes to mind.
    "So too #police budget cuts.
    "Not for the first time, #union warning signs were right - last year, the PSA last announced the National led Coalition was going “soft on organised crime” ... ."

    "After the event, Simon Bridges criticised Luxon as not providing sufficient vision or support for Auckland businesses"

    One substack comment (from James Wilkes, who has a doctorate in business) included: "Good grief, NZ media, please, bury this guy, ... . You cannot give a state-of-the-nation speech and leave out #climate change, geopolitical tension, Greenland, Venezuela, #Trump’s lawlessness, #inequality and #poverty, #health, and then provide zero vision, zero leadership, zero strategy, and zero hope. "
